Validity of the Notes
 
In the opinion of Hogan Lovells US LLP, as counsel to the Company, when the
notes offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by the
Company and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and
delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such notes will constitute
valid and binding obligations of the Company, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other laws affecting
creditors? rights (including, without limitation, the effect of statutory and other
law regarding fraudulent conveyances, fraudulent transfers and preferential
transfers), and by the exercise of judicial discretion and the application of
principles of equity, good faith, fair dealing, reasonableness, conscionability
and materiality (regardless of whether the applicable agreements are
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
 
This opinion is based as to matters of law solely on applicable provisions of the
following, as currently in effect: (i) the District of Columbia Cooperative
Association Act, as amended (the ?Cooperative Association Act?) and (ii) the
laws of the State of New York (but not including any laws, statutes,
ordinances, administrative decisions, rules or regulations of any political
subdivision below the state level). In addition, this opinion is subject to
customary assumptions about the trustee?s authorization, execution and
delivery of the indenture and its authentication of the notes and the validity,
binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with respect to the trustee,
all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated November 3, 2017, which has
been filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K by the Company on
November 3, 2017.
 
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
 
The disclosure in the Prospectus Supplement dated November 3, 2017 (the
"Prospectus Supplement") relating to the Prospectus dated November 1, 2017
(the "Base Prospectus" and together with the Prospectus Supplement the
"Prospectus") in the section titled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Considerations" beginning on page S-26 under the subsection titled "General"
on page S-26 is amended and restated as follows:
 
"General
 
This section summarizes the material U.S. tax considerations to holders of the
notes. However,the discussion is limited in the following ways:
 
 The discussion only covers you if you buy your notes in the initial
        offering of a particular issuance of notes.
 
 The discussion only covers you if you hold your notes as a capital
        asset (generally, for investment purposes), your ?functional
        currency? is the U.S. dollar (if you are a U.S. holder) and you do
        not have a special tax status, such as an accrued basis taxpayer
        subject to special rules as a result of your use of financial
        statements.
 
 The discussion does not cover tax consequences that depend upon
        your particular tax situation in addition to your ownership of the
        notes, such as your holding the notes in connection with a hedging,
        straddle or conversion transaction. We suggest that you consult
        your tax advisor about the consequences of holding the notes in
        your particular situation.
 
 The discussion does not cover you if you are a partner in a
        partnership (or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax
        purposes). If a partnership holds the notes, the tax treatment of a
        partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and
        upon the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a
        partnership holding the notes, we suggest that you consult your tax
        advisor.
 
 The discussion is based on current law. Changes in the law may
        change the tax treatment of the notes.
 
 The discussion does not cover state, local or foreign law, and,
        except for the U.S. federal estate tax consequences discussed
        below with respect to Non-U.S. holders, does not cover any U.S.
        federal tax consequences other than income tax consequences.
 
 This discussion does not cover the Medicare tax that may be
        imposed on the "net investment income" of U.S. holders that are
        individuals, estates or trusts.
 
 The discussion does not cover every type of notes that we might
        issue. If we intend to issue notes of a type not described in this
        summary, additional tax information will be provided in the
        prospectus supplement for the notes.
 
 We have not requested a ruling from the IRS on the tax
        consequences of owning the notes. As a result, the IRS could
        disagree with portions of this discussion.
 
If you are considering buying notes, we suggest that you consult your tax
advisors about the tax consequences of holding the notes in your
particular situation."
 
The disclosure in the Prospectus Supplement in the section titled "Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" beginning on page S-26 in the
subsection titled "Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders" under the caption
titled "Withholdable Payments to Foreign Financial Entities and Other Foreign
Entities on the Notes" on page S-33 is amended and restated as follows:
 
"The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA") imposes a U.S. federal
withholding tax of 30% on certain payments to foreign financial institutions
and other non-U.S. persons that fail to comply with information reporting
requirements in respect of their direct and indirect U.S. shareholders and/or
U.S. accountholders. FATCA withholding currently applies to payments of
interest on notes. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. holder might be
eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. Prospective investors are
encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible
implication of this legislation on their investment in the notes."
